In 1995, a South African journalist informed Frank Wilderson, one
of only two American members of the African National Congress
(ANC), that President Nelson Mandela considered him "a threat to
national security." Wilderson was asked to comment. Incognegro is
that "comment." It is also his response to a question posed five
years later in a California university classroom: "How come you
came back?" Although Wilderson recollects his turbulent life as an
expatriate during the furious last gasps of apartheid, Incognegro
is at heart a quintessentially American story. During South
Africa's transition, Wilderson taught at universities in
Johannesburg and Soweto by day. By night, he helped the ANC
coordinate clandestine propaganda, launch psychological warfare,
and more. In this mesmerizing political memoir, Wilderson's lyrical
prose flows from unspeakable dilemmas in the red dust and ruin of
South Africa to his return to political battles raging quietly on
US campuses and in his intimate life. Readers will find themselves
suddenly overtaken by the subtle but resolute force of Wilderson's
biting wit, rare vulnerability, and insistence on bearing witness
to history no matter the cost.
